TITLE

Sudo Buffer error vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Sudo before 1.9.5p2 contains an off-by-one error that can result in a heap-based buffer overflow, which allows privilege escalation to root via "sudoedit -s" and a command-line argument that ends with a single backslash character. Any local user (sudoers and non-sudoers) can exploit this flaw for root privilege escalation. For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.27-1+deb10u3. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages. For the detailed security status of sudo please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/sudo Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://www.debian.org/security/ Mailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEERkRAmAjBceBVMd3uBUy48xNDz0QFAmAQWctfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDQ2 NDQ0MDk4MDhDMTcxRTA1NTMxRERFRTA1NENCOEYzMTM0M0NGNDQACgkQBUy48xND z0Qr2w/5AfAZMSbKestTzvm22w+T5yReGOd2jYXO2SzdqdkIzOVXJ83RrbogkiyK d1ie47Csw51M8L5eT/kf48vkABPqT9S0dlRI7rQ2xbIDWIUcDpnFNCSclSGjI+Sd HqtaQQbR+MdSjGtC8vc8RVEOEQcVvoXrqDPaEniWjA4uTV7Iqj0P3EpH1XolVlZv lw4ZZ+VdDolxhm1QWp/NiMKUlDpv5RLs6jW0oQAKP1RZqMIX44TSEHil/NEs6VeN u5AFUwo5iwYRCUbgi2mB0GxV4CRyb0IN26pGsltYJsReFL1vCMiO9drGMk/WhlqB NGKeF5rLsMKaJCkBEcMntDG1XtFhXuyak2O4atL7H8CwhBZ81Axe+aAynn7IB99B qx3GLfRNSVKHQHBHWEOxqILCS+xWmvL6/uB6xMaAh5CXxhEgs9BIEiPonccmkzQ9 xj6Uw/aWv9ZOUu+Rwmp+bG/V8DKaFKegaQAy0HnhOZ11ruJJB/YicTXSsbxoLSEt hbd0bYAOrZBqcysH8Ed+R2tGxtjoWIDLcv3uUqmttxgd8E5YpGGngaYBleGCnB0s X3JDyd1pvBu7H0vR5k2bVNgm4qQ27jHmeNKRSpvUZv50mRX8NQyv/rrROwkUsVdI 1EnlHYz0E4BUfb15ECWLfN9BM/MyPhkdKadIrrd+zJEwq+KVcHo= =d9gQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- . 8.1) - aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 3.
